“The pictographic Hobo Code is a fascinating system of symbols understood among the hobo community. Because hobos weren’t typically welcomed (and were often illiterate), messages left for others in the community had to be easy for hobos to read but look like little more than random markings to everyone else to maintain an element of secrecy. The code features certain elements that appear in more than one symbol, such as the circles and arrows that made up the directional symbols. Hash marks or crossed lines usually meant danger in some form.”

about the 'sounding' of sounded-language

... this 'space' is a bag of tricks ... like the 'unsound' and the 'unsounded-object' in its sound, sung cacophonies from Gertrude Stein as sound theory, my furiously fitful notion of sounded-language and its scores, sonic-art artists and experimental writing especially with a feminist flarffy twist. It's full of sound-objects, yabbering away in cacophony making a mess of 'things'. It works for me as a research tool for my PhD and I'm happy to share it with interested others... just to be clear-ish 'unsound' for me is no way a value judgment... majena mafe
